There has also been extensive discussion about the 'scientific howlers' in the programme on www.relaclimate.org.
However, what I found most enlightening was the exchange of e-mail messages with Martin Durkin, the programme's producer, which can be found at: http://ocean.mit.edu/%7Ecwunsch/papersonline/durkinemails. But be warned, it includes foul and abusive language (from Durkin)!

There's been a fair bit published on this since the programme went to air. A couple of the more interesting ones I've seen were media alerts from Media Lens? They're at http://www.medialens.org/alerts/07/0313pure_propaganda_the.php and http://www.medialens.org/alerts/07/0321climate_swindle_the.php.

I, for one would be very glad to have a copy of this document. I was unable to watch the programme myself, and am faced regularly with members of the public utterly convinced by the arguments put forward by the programme. It has led to a few strongly worded discussions already, but being able to quote specific breaches of the Broadcasting Code can only add weight to my argument.
Many thanks
Elin
